You can also try starting it with '-jsconsole' parameter appended. That 
should open an additional window with useful debugging information.

As Neil stated, you need to do install-app before starting. This should 
work:

1) /Library/Frameworks/XUL.framework/xulrunner-bin --install-app 
/full_path_to_your_app
(where full_path_to_your_app points to the directory containing the 
application.ini in your development source)

2) Different ways of starting your app (please give feedback which work 
for you):

a) /Applications/XULTest/MyTestApp.app/Contents/MacOS/xulrunner 
-jsconsole -purgecaches
(where 'XULTest' is the Vendor and 'MyTestApp' ist the Name as specified 
in your application.ini)

b) /Library/Frameworks/XUL.framework/xulrunner-bin 
"/Applications/XULTest/MyTestApp.app/Contents/Resources/application.ini"

When that works, you can replace the 
'/Applications/XULTest/MyTestApp.app/Contents/Resources' directory with 
a symlink to 'full_path_to_your_app' for rapid development without 
reinstalling.
